can't install scoped packages properly

What happened?

It is not properly possible to install a scoped package. The first part of the name is interpreted as package name. eg. @sertonix if the package is called @sertonix/test
When you try to uninstall the package it gives an error because the package.json is not in the expected path.

What steps are needed to reproduce this?

1. create local package
2. set the name to a scoped one. eg. @sertonix/test
3. install package with apm link <path>
4. check settings
5. the package will have the name of the scope. eg. @sertonix

Additional Information:

the / is interpreted as a sub folder. To prevent this an escape sequence is required that does not contain / or \\. Maybe use encodeURIComponent for that.

what about a test and split after / ?
if test -> test
else @sertonix/test -> split after / and rename test folder ?

[sertonix]

That would not allow a package named test besides a package named @sertonix/test cause they would both have the same folder name

We can use @ for scoped packages.
If a package start with @ , then it's a scoped packages. One or more packages can be found inside ?
So you can add your @sertonix package, with your package test inside, along with your other packages.
What do you think ?
